For once YHC did everything right on a Sunday night and actually preplanned to be at ER. He read the newsletter and saw that Retread had the Q. “Good!” he thought. “It will be a tough one. I need that so I’ll get up and go. I’ll also wear my best red tank top to honor him and his Tornados”. After leaving the casa for a little warm up run past Snuggles n’ Cuddles of Viewmont, YHC arrived at 0525 to hear two dudes shouting at each other a little ways up the street. Too early for that. Everyone knows that the yelling in that area is not supposed to start until 0530. About that time here came Powder, Publix, Kapowski, and Cheese Wiz. As the clock hit 0530 we had no Q. No Retread in sight. YHC was feeling froggy so he said “I’ll do it”.

The decisions that we make each day are important and can have a long lasting impact others. I made a decision last night to get up and go to the ER. I’m glad that I did. I’m glad that 4 others did also. YHC talked about the important decision that Franz Stigler, a German fighter pilot in WWII, had to make many years ago. It was a decision that would affect him and many others. You should read about it in “A Higher Call” by Adam Makos. It’s a great book. YHC believes that we are all called to make a positive difference in someone life. We are all called to something higher. The question is, how are we allowing God to guide our decision making and our next moves in life? What decisions will you make today?
As always, honored to lead.
Aye!
